A great day out - I was the only passenger with Adil, but we had a great time. Adil was very easy to talk to and showed excellent service to me. We covered all the promised activities and he made sure I had plenty of time to see everything. Late lunch at Mom's Tea was a real treat and so reasonably priced. I had my first falooda. Thanks Adil.

Qatar's North and West private tour - Tour was excellent. Our driver Zohaib was very accommodating and passed on lots of information about the areas we visited and Qatar in genera.l Recommending him to family who are visiting in July. Provided us with multiple bottles of CHILLED water. We never felt rushed and felt free to ask question.

Wonderful tour of Qatar beyond Doha - Adil was a charming, knowledgeable and delightful traveling companion through the desert. The sites were interesting, both for their history and the likely foreseeable changes that have already begun. If you want to understand both the history of the country before the oil explosion as well as its likely future I recommend this tour with Adil

Wonders of Qatar - Very nice adventure, it's was kind a journey back in time to see the old villages, as departed front he city of Doha. The mangrove were wonderful and also the fort was really nice to see it.
The guide, Asim, was great on explaining everything and taking the time to properly show and comment everything. While also having a laugh with him :)
I highly recommend to do this tour, just don't forget the solar cream, as the sun always shine on the beauty of Qatar:)

A fantastic experience - I booked this tour thinking that it would be a good way to see the diverse side of Qatar and I must say the tour exceeded my expectations.
My tour guide was Abdul Nasir and he was absolutely fabulous… nothing was too difficult, he explained Qatar’s cultural heritage and his knowledge of the places we visited was second to none.
If you are remotely even considering this tour just onboard, I assure you that you will not be disappointed.

Highly Recommended! - I only had a limited time in Qatar and wanted to see as much as possible! The North and West full day tour was just the tour for that! Not only did I get to see North and West Qatar, but I also got to eat at a local restaurant in a local town off the beaten path!
Abdullah was my guide for the day and I highly recommend him!

A sandy excursion - We quite enjoyed our northern tour although the weather was against us, with sandstorms and flurries making it unpleasant to spent too much time out of the car. The Al Zubara fort was a highlight, along with the rock formations. Our guide Zahid was an enthusiastic driver but left us to our own devices at the stops. Sadly the sandstorm precluded a visit to the camel races.
